Подробнее +The development objective of the Development of Pre-School Education system of Sakha (Yakutia) Project for Russia is to increase the access to kindergarten places and improve the quality of early childhood care and education services in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) where the conditions are created for improved child development outcomes. Negative impacts and mitigation measures include: lack of opportunities for preschool age children to study in their native languages. It was decided that kindergartens that will be constructed as part of the project will allow teaching in native languages; as soon as the project's specific activities will be finalized, each activity that affects Indigenous Peoples (IPs) will be assessed and any possible negative impacts will be mitigated. Specific Indigenous Peoples Plans (IPPs) will be developed to assess the project's impacts and mitigate any possible negative effects. The IPPs will be approved by all concerned parties during their development, including the World Bank. The basics of organising free, prior, and informed consultations with the representatives of the indigenous people during project implementation are as follows: free participation in discussing the project, full inclusion of indigenous populations when organising meetings and discussions (including the provision of full and adequate information about organised events), discussion of possible negative effects before the adoption of any managerial decisions, dissemination of all relevant project materials to the representatives of the indigenous people.
